I need to put a link onto a spreadsheet.

The link needs to go to a folder, not a specific document.

I've tried it via 'insert hyperlink' but it tells me the hyperlink isn't valid.

Can anyone help please?

I've been asked to set up a document for a committee.

The agendas, minutes etc are in folders stored on my H:\ drive.

I need to put hyperlinks in the spreadsheet to link to the folders, not the documents.

I'm a complete novice at this so please be gentle!

Thanks

Hello, still not following, do you want to launch the Windows Explorer to a Folder?

You could tie a button to something like:

Code: 
Sub foobar()
Shell "Explorer.exe /e, c:\temp\", vbMaximizedFocus
End Sub
Where 'c:\temp\' is the path. Otherwise, how do you mean 'link to a folder, not a file'?
